The new Musical Fidelity M6i integrated amp is designed to give great sonic and technical performance.

Its design and build quality are excellent. Internally the M6i is actually a separate preamp with two monobloc power amps.

The M6i has one huge mains transformer which gives entirely separate outputs for left and right power amps and preamps. Even though the M6i is a one box solution it’s actually a set of discreet monobloc power amps with a separate preamp in one sleek package.

Due to its excellent practical linearity, low distortion and excellent load driving ability the M6i can be paired with any loudspeaker. It’s extremely quiet so high sensitivity loudspeakers are fine but at the same time it’s very powerful so lower sensitivity speakers present no problem.

The M6i’s sound is calm and unruffled. Huge dynamics are delivered with ease. Quiet passages are sweet and warm. The overall picture the M6i delivers is natural and uncoloured.

The front panel is beautifully finished. The knobs and buttons are machined from solid aluminium, the badge is from medical grade stainless steel. The heatsinks are fine line finished custom made extrusions.

For most people for most of the time the M6i is the perfect companion for music.
